#BUTTBubbles deserves it.... because Bresciani...
SDSU coach John Stiegelmeier on NDSU intro video: "This is not meant to be North Dakota State's home game."
Yeah, if you go by the computer rankings which look at more than just the W-L record of the teams you've played I'm pretty sure NDSU is tops in the FCS by a good margin. That official NCAA SOS doesn't really punish teams for beating crappy teams with good records. For instance, Cal Poly beat 9-1 University of San Diego who is rated just below 4-7 Indiana St by Sagarin.
Yes. You said that already. I was pointing out that the rest of our schedules are relevant as well. Sure, we are better than Missouri State. Way better. But Iowa is better than K State and EWU and Chuck are way better than Murray St. and SW College (D2). It seems weird that NDSU being better than Missouri St. outweighs BY ITSELF our 3 OOC games being better than theirs. But then again I have no idea how Sagarin computes his SOS ratings. Is it just a straight average of all their opponents' Sagarin ratings or are some teams weighted more than others?
